Ok used WinSCP and uploaded cgminer file to /usr/bin/ folder and restarted unit. It would not start hashing unless I deleted the new cgminer binary and restored the original file. My S3 Web UI status screen remains blank even after a new reboot with the new cgminer binary installed.

Hmm, README file is probably missing another command, you have to make cgminer binary executable (after you upload new binary) by issuing this command

Code:

chmod +x /usr/bin/cgminer

Verify that the new cgminer works by:

Code:

/usr/bin/cgminer -V

It should return cgminer 4.7.1, if this is OK, new binary should work.

Ok got my S3's working. The new binary rights in the file properties were different than the original. I had to change the new binary rights to match the original one by checking all the x's in the properties. I did not need to use the chmod +x /usr/bin/cgminer command.

can someone please cross compile it for the beaglebone board and post a binary.

I do not have the experience required to do that

----------------------------------------------------------UPDATE If you use the newest BitMain firmware that contains cgminer 4.6 and then drop in the 4.7 replacement, all antminer status reports sections work properly.

if you set a price point, fx p=0.0135 then if it dips below said pricepoint, no work is issued, but connection is not terminated either so instead of my S3s switching to 3rd pool option, it will just hang on to the connection, waiting for work

(my rigs started beeping and woke me up)

The same problem noticed here. It does not seem to skip to another pool in the list after price goes below p=xxx level. Happened with s3 and s1 units.

Thanks to 7 queue for the most awsome S1 binary in the world. Full production on 80 S1's on P2Pool with BETTER than expected results of only 2.1% DOA and 118.3% Efficiency and finding shares at an incredible pace.

Many thanks for Nicehash for finding someone as talented as 7 queue for the binary.... I have tested all 80 S1's on Westhash over nite and the overall DOA used to be almost 1 TH/s rejected and it's cut in just about 3/4 of that.

Now.... How about some love for the S2??? Seems that's the only issue I am having with Nicehash now, with the S2's running the up to date firmware and --queue 0, which works perfectly on P2Pool now, but consistently refreshes and resets beteen 25, 30, 24, 45 seconds.

Tried to follow your instructions but some of us are not linx savvy and don't know how to navigate around putty. Can you provide step by step instruction in more depth for us newbs? I was able to ssh into antminer 3 with putty and stop cgminer but then got stumped an how to copy original and follow the rest of the instructions. I've got the binary sitting on my windows desktop.

i about the same point, but with ubuntu. i've followed every step but it keeps saying it can't find my cgminer file when i try to scp the file. i'm using the exact location of the downloaded file, i even copied it and moved it to a different location with the same failure. basically i keep on bricking my machine and having to reflash factory bin

where we you yesterday? lol, if you saw my post above i finally figurd it out. i hope this helps some other person who isn't linux savvy like me. moving the files from the host computer and not while in the antminer unit worked wonders, who'd a thunk it.

As to the software itself, seems to be working great. 0 connection drops except my twice a day restart, in case it goes down while i'm out. All S3's are at 635 minutes now, i'm guessing they'll see 719 before it's done. thank you nicehash 7queue slimz

Binaries for antminer S4 from nicehash.com site does not work. It is compiled for another type of machine.Another thing which does not work with antminer S4 is difficulty setting with password parameter d=2048. Site stats shows 2048 but cgminer shows 1k or 1024. And from that reason it is not hashing with full power.If You solve it I will be glad to try it again.
